Hi,

Bellow a digest I compiled regarding problems met with Voyage, and its resolutions, all documented� through messages in the mailing list (hello Slat ;)

Hi Stephan,

I am maintaining such a digest, with links to the discussion on the
list. I will post it once I am done with Voyage.

Voyage

Feedback on its installation and use:

• MongoDB get installed and running easily

• Get a hard time installing it from the official configuration browser, it required an update to Seaside which in turn does not work. Fight for a couple of days to get it installed.http://forum.world.st/Latest-Voyage-for-Pharo4-tp4934769p4935335.html

• Got hanging Voyage, need to use the latest version and not the one from the Configuration browser�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-hang-tp4935341.html

• Instance will not synchronize between several Voyage repository: you need to stick to one repo or use id to link data between repo, like good old Sql�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-Unique-vs-Multiple-repo-tt4935133.html

• Get back an object to its repository value, not sure about this one�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-refreshing-an-object-back-to-its-repository-state-tp4935881.html

• Have difficulties to iterate over a fetched object attributes, to me Voyage does not behave as expected�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-and-instances-retrieving-tt4936868.html. Here is a test to expose the problem�http://forum.world.st/Test-for-Voyage-failure-to-materialize-in-some-situation-tt4938014.html

• Got a one day shift when saving/loading a date�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-and-Date-tp4937235.html

• Meet broken class, not sure what it is about�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-VOToOneDescription-or-VOMongoToOneDescription-tp4936998.html

• Association and dictionary need to be on elementary form with key a string and value a numeric, otherwise you can not save it. There is a work around�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-and-Association-tt4936673.html#a4936694

• Scaled Decimal will mostly not be persisted. If you are doing arithmetic computing and exact value is needed, you will end with a too large integer error from Voyage (for the fraction den/num representing your exact value). You have no choice but to use float�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-and-Scaled-decimal-tt4936625.html

• Voyage singleton repository and Seaside are reported to work together just fine�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-and-seaside-tt4935946.html

• When editing and saving a client model, I got a duplicated object in the Participant collection.�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-and-duplicated-entry-tt4937268.html

• You need an adaptor for your Date attributes: to convert back from the DateAndTime saved form in Mongo�http://forum.world.st/Voyage-save-Date-get-back-DateAndTime-bug-tt4703601.html, but there is issue with a shifted date of one day, really!?
